Razor : Gem Damaskeene Open Comb- Mfg 1912-15, very rare but still out there, This is the Gem flagship razor that made them into a giant company (A.S.R). All improvements were based off this original 1912 design & there were minor ones.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE blade (9) Great sharp blade with some smoothness with excellent longevity.
Soap: Taylor of old bond street (TOBS) sandal wood- excellent scent with reasonable lather qualities.
